About Us

The Perkins Lab is interested in how transcription factors control blood development and how mutations can lead to diseases like cancer. Our research also focuses on inherited and acquired disorders of blood cell production including myeloproliferative neoplasms and myelodysplastic syndromes.
We utilize advanced genomic techniques to investigate mechanisms of disease and translate these into potential therapies. If you’d like to find out more about us, pleasecontact us.
